Glossary of Mystery Shop/Audit/Merchandising/etc. Terms?

Hi there.

I am new-ish in this business. I spend 8 - 10 hours each month looking up information about the types of work we can do. I am reasonably certain that I know less than 10% of available information. It might be helpful to have a glossary of terms and, possibly, general descriptions of job types in one place in this forum.

But this is just me.

What do other newbies think? Your feedback is very appreciated.

I agree.... looking around the newbie posts and see so many initials that I don't know what they mean. Help?
Why don't you list the acronyms you don't know and we can provide the definitions.

Also,
You might want to post the merchandising ones in the special section for merchandising (below.) From what I have heard, those are quite specialised and most MSers wouldn't have a clue.
